The Riffer 4 Black Friday deal covers the upgrade path for anyone who owns a previous Riffer, at $29 with 63% off until Nov 30, 2026.
Riffer 4 is the newest version of Audiomodern's MIDI sequencer, a tool that generates riffs, melodies, hooks, basslines and arpeggios so you never start a session on an empty piano roll.
Riffer 4 Upgrade lets owners of any earlier Riffer version move up to the latest release. The maker also sells a full purchase path for people who are new to the plugin.
You pick a key and a scale, generate a riff, then shape it. Range, density, timing and feel are all adjustable.
Every note can be edited directly, so a generated idea becomes a starting point you rework by hand. You can also build variations of any riff and develop them into full parts.
The maker describes Riffer 4 as having five purpose-built engines, each with its own musical character. The aim is to avoid one generic randomizer pushing out similar results every time.
Between them they cover:
You can reshape, combine and transform what the engines give you into new ideas.
Riffer 4 exports MIDI, so you drag a riff into your DAW and carry on there. It sits at the start of the signal chain: the notes come from Riffer, the sound comes from whatever instrument you load.
